I don't know what he said, but have these guys no brain? They can see the culture we are living in, why leave yourelf open to it? The Aussie cricketer did the same thing. As much as the women involved, I feel sorry for his family who had to find out like this.

Sadly there is no forgiveness in today's woke world ... he's now unemployable for any big club, the risk to their sponsorship and commercial deals is just to great.

The former Arsenal winger last night told of his decision to step down after 10 years at the club following talks with chief executive Edwin van der Sar, who described this situation as “appalling” on an extraordinary evening in Dutch football.

“I am ashamed,” Overmars told the club’s website. “Last week I was confronted with reports about my behaviour and how this has come across to others.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t realise that I was crossing the line with this, but that was made clear to me in recent days. I suddenly felt enormous pressure. I apologise.

“Certainly for someone in my position, this behaviour is unacceptable. I now see that too. But it is too late. I see no other option but to leave Ajax.”


Incredible that the situation was descibed as 'Apalling' and yet he didn't realise he was crossing any lines. Shows a complete lack of awareness.

Of course he was completely wrong to do this sort of thing in the workplace.

But it depends now on what exactly was said. If it was the sort of naughty stuff you'd expect in carry on films then he should have a little break and come back. If however it was obscene then I'm afraid he's made his bed and can probably not get a high profile job again.

The fact that he has said, “Unfortunately, I didn’t realise that I was crossing the line with this, but that was made clear to me in recent days. I suddenly felt enormous pressure. I apologise." makes me think it wasn't as bad as some might think.

As someone else said though, he's not a naive young boy. Maybe he's had some sort of mid life crisis. Or maybe it was a two way thing with flirty texts being sent in both directions, and now one or more of the women have decided to drop him in it.

Man like Marc.

So we're getting fired now for flirting?

Ok then .......... so that's what we're doing now.

Don't get me wrong if he was pestering them and it was unwanted, then that's one thing, but if it was being reciprocated and the fact the article claims it was going on for "some time" would suggest it was ............?

Anyway, bye bye Marc, he's well off, he gets no sympathy from me.

So the man was sending unsolicited dick pics to his female colleagues. And forcing himself on them...

What a d-bag.

If he’s done that he’ not going to be working in football again… he’ll be lucky to stay out of jail.

What an idiot.

Yep. No sympathy. Sexual harassment at work was never acceptable. He should know better.

To be honest, there's no place for that kind of sexual harrassment anywhere.
